How could i start an aerosol can recycling program in my town?
April 22nd, 2010
I just noticed at my work how much of these things we use but in a small southern town not to many people care at all about recycling. How could i get a program started so people will recycle their aerosol cans rather than just dump them in the trash. I’m just an average citizen with limited funds and no city government connections so what could i do?

You should look up your county’s solid waste authority/department. They usually have someone dedicated to recycling (the recycling coordinator) who could discuss with you the options for recycling aerosol in your town. Recycling is usually a two way street though—people have to walk to recycle something and there needs to be someone on the industry side who wants the recycled goods. Hopefully the recycled end product is useful to someone in your area!!
Good luck!
